This does not work on the GSM version. This is Windows Mobile 6, but there is no full Today screen, no Start Menu and no access to the programs group. Sadly, many elements of the usual Windows Mobile experience have been disabled or hidden away, and HTC tells us this is due to licensing issues we assume they didn't go for a full WinMo license which would have raised the price of an already pricey UMPC. For those who are technically inclined with Windows Mobile, it's not hard to regain much of the functionality newbies won't find it easy.
We've restored access to the Programs group including the File Explorer , installed 3rd party file explorers, registry editors as well as the Opera and NetFront web browsers.
But we did find a kludgy method of using Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista to sync with and explore files on the Shift, making it a much more useful device. It also handles the WAN data connection 3G and acts as a wireless modem for the Vista side of things does that bake your noodle?
Our hacking guide is at the end of this review. NetFront 3. The Shift looks like a high quality, sexy and modern device.
The casing is plastic, but it doesn't look cheap, and there's a metal bezel surrounding the display. The slider hinge is stiff with a definite lock-in-place feel when you close the unit-- much firmer than HTC's slider phones.
The battery mounts at the bottom and there are plastic feet on the bottom. Air vents live at the back and sides and when the fan comes on, it blows rearward. The fan comes on when the unit works hard at playing video or other demanding tasks. At full blast, the fan is easily audible and we suggest not blocking the air vents by laying it on a bed for long periods of time if you object to fan noise.
Back view. Battery goes under the door on the back. The SIM card slot is inside the battery compartment. The US version has a permanently attached leather wrap-around case. The power slider with lock position to avoid accidental power on , full size SD card slot and the lone USB 2. The 3. The Shift's surprisingly good and loud stereo speakers live behind narrow grills that flank the display and there's a built-in mic for voice command under Vista, VoIP calls and etc.
The biometric fingerprint scanner lives near the lower right corner of the display. To the left of the display are two stacked buttons that handle mouse right and left clicks. Even as a leftie who'd prefer the trackpad on the left side, I found the trackpad, which HTC calls a "microPad" pleasurable to use, though a thumb is too fat and one of the other digits is best used fat fingered folk may have trouble with the microPad as a result. Of course, the Shift has a touch screen that's best described as soft touch, making it very finger friendly.
So you need not use the mouse apparatus at all. Who'd have thought a soft suede case could effectively reduce EVDO airwave pollution?
The case is brown soft leather on the outside and gray with a suede texture on the inside. The case is nice but annoying at times as you always have to fold it out of the way to use the unit.
The case is attached to the bottom rear edge by 3 tiny torx head screws and HTC says the case shouldn't be removed lest it no longer meet FCC requirements. The touch screen on very small UMPCs like the Sony Vaio UX and Fujitsu U are hard to use with fingers because the screen is so small and the resolution so high targets like links are super-tiny.
But the Shift's large display and soft-touch screen make finger navigation a breeze, even at x HTC scores big usability points here. If you want a finger-friendly UMPC, this is it. If you're a hardcore inker who takes a lot of handwritten notes, then touch screens' tendency to vector play connect the dots between your stylus and palm or knuckle resting on the display will annoy.
To reduce vectoring on touch screen tablet PCs and UMPCs, it helps to switch the display to portrait orientation, but the the Shift is one of the few we've seen that does not support screen rotation-- it's landscape only HTC didn't see a need for portrait mode, so they didn't include support for it. The display is very bright, so bright that the highest setting is just too bright. It's also sharp, though not as sharp as the Vaio UX, OQO model 02 or the U but that's not a completely fair comparison since those machines have much higher pixel densities they cram more pixels into a smaller space which increases sharpness.
The Shift's display is fine at x and more useful than x For those with poor vision, the x resolution should be quite easy to read. The display surface is matte and the included screen protector adds a bit of gloss but in no way interferes with screen response.
Also scoring big usability points is the excellent keyboard-- the best we've used on a UMPC. If your fingers aren't super-sized, with a little practice you'll actually be able to touch type. Note that the import version has a UK layout, with a few symbols in different locations from a US keyboard. Security Reviver Security Reviver support. Privacy Reviver Privacy Reviver support.
